In early 2015 it was announced that Mantle Business Centres would be converting the derelict Officer’s Mess building for use as office space for small businesses, retaining many of the original features including the high ceilings, sash windows and cast iron radiators.

It was opened in late 2015 with the assistance of Rainbow, who procured systems furniture for the workspaces and loose pieces for The Heart, a central hub containing The Mess Café and a variety of relaxed seating.

A variety of update videos can be seen on Mantle’s YouTube channel, including the video above which shows the condition of the building before the renovation, as well as photos below showing the finished article!
